Even though his catch was worthless he gave praise to God for his ability to work and catch fish. First, he brought the carcass ashore and laid it out to dry thinking the skin may be of value and returned to his fishing. On the second cast of his nets he found them to be even heavier than the first and found a large jar, full of sand and mud. On the third cast, he drew out a quantity of broken jars and pots. When he attempted to draw up the fourth cast, he could not, for it clung to the bottom. Still, he worked away at the nets and found in it a brass bottle with a stopper of lead, bearing the impression of the Suleymán the Great. Thinking to sell it in the copper-market for ten pieces of gold. He picked at the lead stopper until he had extracted it. He shook it so that its contents might pour out; but was greeted with a cloud of smoke, which ascended skyward. After a little while, the smoke condensed, and then became agitated, and converted into an 'Efreet (Genie), whose head was in the clouds, while his feet rested upon the ground. And so begins the story of the fisherman and the genie which takes many twists and turns along the way with altogether surprising results. And just what are they you ask?
